Intro
In April of 1915, Maulvi Sanaullah wrote about the Lahori-Ahmadi’s in his newspaper, Ahl e Hadith. He argued that since they denied the prophethood of MGA and in the interest of islamic unity, they were still Muslim, however, by 1942, he deleted this Fatwa (opinion) (see the scan in the below).
The first ref is from April-1915, Maulvi Sanaullah says that Ahmadi’s (Lahori’s) should be included in Islam, among Muslims. The Split in the Ahmadiyya Movement had just happened and Lahori-Ahmadi’s had just rejected the prophethood of MGA, however, their rejection of the miraculous birth of Eisa (As) was unknown at this time. Muslims would continue to call the Lahori-Ahmadi’s as Muslims for a long time. In 1974, the Pakistan National Assembly declared the Lahori-Ahmadi’s as Non-Muslim for purposes of the constitution. In 1984, the Al-Azhar University declared Lahori-Ahmadi’s as non-Muslim. Nevertheless, a few scholarly Muslims made the mistake of calling Ahmadi’s as Muslims, not realizing that there are many sects of Ahmadi’s, Shaikh Hamza Yousaf made the mistake, as did the famous Albani. Thus, Shaikh Hamza Yousaf and Albani had been told by their teachers about the Lahori-Ahmadi’s, not the qadiani’s. Even Maulana Maudoodi thought the Lahori-Ahmadi’s were Muslim in 1938.
The second ref is from Apr-2-1915, the same Ahl-e-Hadith newspaper and is about praying behind Lahori-Ahmadi’s. Maulvi Sanaullah mentions Khwaja Kamaluddin specifically and how the Lahori-Ahmadi’s refuse to do Takfir. For some context, this entire story is a conversation between Maulvi Sanaullah and Khwaja Kamaluddin, the silly Ahmadi in the video and on the discord team calls Khwaja Kamaluddin the leader of the Lahori-Ahmadi’s which is factually incorrect, Muhammad Ali was the President of Lahori-Ahmadi’s in 1915, the AAIIL. This Ahmadi in this video doesn’t even bring up the greater context of how the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s were doing largescale Takfir of Muslims in 1911–1923.
The third ref, the Ahmadi in this video then refers to Deobandi ulema, who claimed that anyone who doesn’t call Ahmadi’s as Non-Muslim, is himself a non-Muslim. Maulvi Sanaullah disagrees with this, this was most likely since the Deobandi’s were calling all groups of Ahmadi’s as Non-Muslim, and Maulvi Sanaullah was a member of the Ahl-e-Hadith. The silly Ahmadi in the video is quoting a book entitled, “Wahabiyyat aur Mirzaiyat”, which would translate into english as “Wahabism and Mirzai-ism”, the author is unknown.
In the 4th reference, another Ahl-e-Hadith writer makes a mistake and doesn’t realize that Lahori-Ahmadi’s were being discussed. The Ahmadi in this video admits that even the Ahl-e-Hadith don’t follow this fatwa anymore. Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi is also mentioned.
